Tonight Aidan was watching the Countdown to the Special Olympics. He is so compassionate and accepting of everyone and while he's curious, he is sure to ask questions in a way that is not hurtful, but thoughtful. He gets it that deep down we are all people. We are all different but even people that may have had a label can do awesome things and have the same interests as him--especially sports.
Aidan had the opportunity to come with me to work on Take Your Child to Work Day this year. Tonight he asked if he could come to my school again and said he wanted to help out my students just like last year. That melted my heart.
I hope he never loses his compassion, wonder, and understanding and always has a desire to help others.
